Zabi, Kycilia

キシリア・ザビ

Kycilia Zabi is the sole daughter of Degwin Sodo Zabi. Although Yoshiyuki Tomino's novel version of MSG lists her as the fourth of his five children and the youngest aside from Garma, the ongoing Gundam: The Origin manga by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko identifies her as his third child, older than her brother Dozle.
Kycilia adapted quickly to the shifting technology of the One Year War and was equally skilled at gathering intelligence to use against the Earth Federation. She commanded the Principality of Zeon's mobile suit forces and was responsible for deploying them against the Federation. Additionally, she oversaw the creation of several elite mobile suit units, including Char Aznable's 300th Independent Corps (also known as "Char's Newtype Corps"), the hand-picked Chimera Corps, and the Midnight Fenrir covert ops team.
Her portrayal remains ambiguous throughout both the main series and the various side stories surrounding the One Year War, with her motives frequently open to question. On one hand, she appears fiercely loyal to the people of Zeon and to the men under her command. On the other hand, many of her actions can be interpreted as those of a charismatic yet utterly merciless manipulator of the highest order, preparing for a military coup.
